' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 324,276, dated August11, 1885.

Application filed May 20, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES H. SCRIBNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Atlantic, in the county of Cass and State of Iowa, haveinvented a new and useful Spectacle and Eyeglass Frame Holder, of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of my invention is in the manufacture and repair of spectacleand eyeglass frames to quickly adjust and hold firmly together in theirproper places the several parts of spectacle and eyeglass frames,especially those parts that have been broken by accident or otherwise,so that the broken or other parts can be brazed or secured firmly toeach other; also, to provide a holder that will permit the parts of theframe that are to be brazed to be thoroughly examined upon all theirsides while the work of brazing or repairing is in progress withoutrendering it necessary to remove the frame from the holder, as isrequired in the ordinary mode of pinning the frame to a piece ofcharcoal. I attain these objects by the spectacle and eyeglass frameholder illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is aperspective view of my spectacle and eyeglass frame holder. Fig. 2represents a detailed sectional view of the clutch and screw.

Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The spectacle and eyeglass frame holder comprises the perforated frameA, with its spirally-grooved perforations h h h h h h, said frame Abeing of sufficient size to admit and surround any spectacle or eyeglassframe; the screws b b, with their inward ends pointed and made to fitthe spirally-grooved holes h h in the ends of the frame A 5 the screwsto a a a, made to fit the spirally-grooved holes h h h h on the sides ofthe frame A, and the perforated clutches d d d d, which are secured tothe ends of the screws a a a (tin such a manner that the screws can berevolved withthe concave side of the clutch to contain the head of thescrew.

The spectacle and eyeglass frame holder is used in repairing the brokenframes of spectacles and eyeglasses in the following manner: The brokenframe is placed between the clutchesd d d d and the points of thescrews 1) h.

--Then by turning the screws to a a a the clutches can be made toapproach each other and to seize the spectacle oreyeglass frame and holdit firmly. Then by adjusting the several screws to a a a and b h thebroken parts of the spectacle or eyeglass frame can be pressed togetherand held in their proper place by the clutches and screws, and thenbrazed or repaired.

' Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a spectacle and eyeglass frame holder, the combination of thescrews to a a at, having swiveled to them the clutches d d 01 (Z, withthe frame A, having threaded apertures, substantially as set forth, andfor the purposes specified.

2. The combination, in aspectacle and eyeglass frame holder, of theframe A, with its spirally-grooved perforations h h h h h h and screws12 b, with the screws a a -a a, having swiveled to them the clutches d(l d d, all substantially as set forth.
